The disciples found angels at the grave of Him they loved and we should always find them too, but that our eyes are too full of tears for seeing.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We not only live among men, but there are airy hosts, blessed spectators, sympathetic lookers-on, that see and know and appreciate our thoughts and feelings and acts.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
In friendship your heart is like a bell struck every time your friend is in trouble.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.
Henry Ward Beecher

A house built on sand is, in fair weather, just as good as if builded on a rock. A cobweb is as good as the mightiest chain cable when there is no strain on it. It is trial that proves one thing weak and another strong.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Many men are stored full of unused knowledge. Like loaded guns that are never fired off, or military magazines in times of peace, they are stuffed with useless ammunition.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The hunger of the eye is not to be despised and they are to be pitied who have starvation of the eye.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is no such thing as white lies a lie is as black as a coalpit, and twice as foul.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is no liberty to men whose passions are stronger than their religious feelings there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Yea, though the breath of disappointment should chill the sanguine heart, Speedily gloweth it again, warmed by the live embers of hope.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man without a vote is in this land like a man without a hand.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Why is not a rat as good as a rabbit? Why should men eat shrimps and neglect cockroaches?
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Never excuse yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
You cannot sift out the poor from the community. The poor are indispensable to the rich.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.
